Celiac disease culprits found →
Researchers discovered gluten was an environmental cause of celiac disease 60 years ago. “In the years since, the holy grail in celiac disease research has been to identify the toxic peptide components of gluten, and that’s what we’ve done,” Anderson said. “It changes the way that we understand celiac disease.” In the study, 244 people with celiac disease...

Facebook prohibits the word ‘Palestinian’ →
unburyingthelead: curate:the-semblance: The folks at Palestinian Refugee ResearchNet thought they’d create a Facebook page only to discover: Facebook blocks the term “Palestinian”! (H/t Jillian C Cork.) Are Palestinians the only group so blocked from making pages? Well, not really… after a little fiddling around, I discovered that al-Qaida Refugee ResearchNet and Nazi Refugee...

Borges, The Universe And The Infinite Library →
Great reading. Since the Library is the Universe, nothing exists outside of it. So, the readers and the narrator are part of it. Can we ever fully understand something when we are not able to examine it as a whole? Like a fish that wants to understand the totality of the oceans, the librarians try in vain to decipher the mysteries of their world, unaware that all they can acquire is a partial...

See no boundaries
To create patterns is natural. In fact, not only as designers, but also as humans, we make sense of a wild environment by taking haphazard shapes and concepts and giving them form and meaning.

Ears by Teresa Milbrodt →
… For months, Zip has been asking me if he can use my face to advertise the tattoo parlor. He’s a good guy and never pressured me about it, but he’s mentioned the possibility from time to time. I’ve never been desperate enough to sell my picture before, but now I’ve got to figure out how to cover twice the usual rent plus make car payments and add to Jake’s college fund. So with Lee and...
